During the past two week or more I haven't posted anything due to a change of direction from writing, many of you know that I have relocated to the UAE (Abu Dhabi). The relocation was caused by getting a new job and having to change my life style.  I'm working for Asia De Cuba located in front of the St Regis hotel on the Cornish beach, so opening a new place has caused me to not have time to write and all but I can give you a short preview of what's been happening.  Asia De Cuba Team. New friends from all over the world. Receiving all the products, ready to start prepping. Someone took a picture of me working Finally got to eat something
